In Sakura Haruno hurt fanfiction, it might also be about emotional hurt. For example, if she discovers that a close friend has betrayed her trust. This could cause her to question her relationships and might lead to a character - growth arc where she becomes more cautious and less naive in her interactions with others.
It could be due to Sakura's feelings for Sasuke. If she's overly focused on Sasuke and Naruto gets in the way of her plans regarding Sasuke in some way, she might lash out and hurt Naruto without really meaning to cause serious harm.
It could be due to a clash of ideals. Gaara, having grown up in a harsh desert environment and with his own set of values as the Kazekage, might not see eye - to - eye with Sakura's more compassionate and medical - focused approach. This difference could lead to an argument that escalates and results in him hurting her.
One common theme could be self - sacrifice. Sakura might get hurt while trying to protect someone she cares about. Another theme could be heartbreak, like when she is betrayed in a relationship and that causes her emotional pain.
One common theme could be the strain on their relationship. In some fanfictions, Sasuke's past traumas might cause him to unintentionally hurt Sakura emotionally. For example, his obsession with revenge could make him push her away. Another theme could be external threats that lead to them getting hurt. Maybe an enemy targets Sakura to get to Sasuke, and in the process, both of them suffer both physically and mentally. Also, misunderstandings play a big part. Sasuke's aloof nature might be misinterpreted by Sakura, leading to hurt feelings on her part.
In a hurt comfort fic, perhaps Sakura has an emotional breakdown after a failed mission. Naruto finds her crying alone. He sits beside her and just listens as she pours out her frustrations. Naruto then shares his own insecurities, like how he sometimes doubts if he can really become Hokage. This mutual sharing of pain and comfort brings them closer, strengthening their friendship in a way that goes beyond their ninja duties.
One common reason could be Sasuke's thirst for revenge. His single - minded focus on getting stronger and avenging his clan might make him overlook Sakura's feelings and accidentally hurt her. For example, he might leave her behind in a dangerous situation while chasing after an enemy related to his clan's massacre.
One common theme is sacrifice. Sakura might get hurt while sacrificing herself to protect her teammates. This shows her loyalty and courage. For instance, she could jump in front of an attack meant for Naruto or Sasuke.
In some fanfictions, Sakura might accidentally hurt Naruto during a training session. Maybe she uses a new jutsu she's not fully mastered and it goes wrong, hitting Naruto instead of the target.
One common theme is misunderstanding. Often, Naruto may misunderstand Sakura's intentions or vice versa, which leads to one of them getting hurt. For example, Naruto might misinterpret Sakura's concern for him as pity, and his reaction could hurt her.
